Maya Jama and Ruben Dias’ Cheshire Home Targeted by Burglars

Maya Jama and Ruben Dias’ Cheshire Home Targeted by Highly Organized Burglary Gang

TV presenter Maya Jama and Manchester City defender Ruben Dias have been left "devastated" after their multimillion-pound mansion in Cheshire was ransacked by burglars. The break-in occurred on the night of Wednesday, January 28, 2026, while both stars were away from the property due to high-profile professional commitments.

The incident is the latest in a string of "away day" robberies targeting Premier League stars and celebrities in the affluent "Golden Triangle" area of Cheshire.

The Raid: A Calculated Move

The burglary took place while the couple’s home in Alderley Edge was unattended. The timing suggests the perpetrators were well-aware of the couple's schedules:

• Maya Jama was in South Africa filming the latest series of Love Island: All Stars.

• Ruben Dias was in Manchester for his team’s Champions League clash against Galatasaray. Despite being sidelined with a hamstring injury at the time, Dias was at the stadium supporting his teammates.

The Portuguese international reportedly discovered the break-in upon returning home later that night. Cheshire Police were called to the address on Woodbrook Road shortly after 11:10 PM.

What Was Taken?

While the full extent of the loss is still being assessed, reports indicate that the thieves bypassed sophisticated security measures, including zoned alarms and CCTV. The "away day gang" reportedly made off with:

• Designer jewelry and high-end watches.

• Expensive electronics.

• Designer clothing and handbags.

The property itself holds significant sentimental value for the couple, as it was the first home they moved into together since going public with their relationship in early 2025. The four-bedroom house was notably featured in a previous Omaze prize draw.

A Growing Trend of "Away Day" Gangs

The burglary has "spooked" other Premier League players living in the area. Police are investigating whether the gang is receiving "inside information" from tradespeople or service providers trusted by the footballing community.

Dias follows in the footsteps of several teammates, including Jack Grealish and former City stars Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez, who have all had their homes targeted under similar circumstances. Some intelligence reports suggest that stolen items from these high-profile raids often end up with organized crime syndicates based overseas.

Official Response

A spokesperson for Cheshire Police confirmed that enquiries are ongoing and urged anyone with information to come forward. During a press conference, Manchester City’s assistant manager Pepijn Lijnders expressed the club's support for Dias, stating, "These are the things you don’t want to happen. We will support him and see how it goes from there."

Despite the invasion of their personal space, both stars are expected to continue with their busy 2026 schedules, with Jama returning to her filming duties and Dias focusing on his injury rehabilitation.
